Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Maydoon Restaurant offers a delightful Persian dining experience with "wonderful food" and "lovely service." Guests rave about the flavorful dishes, generous portions, and "scrumptious" appetizers like hummus. The atmosphere is inviting, though sometimes loud. While the cocktails receive mixed reviews, the friendly staff and reasonable prices make it a must-visit spot.

    The food and cocktails were super tasty. Our Server was very attentive and friendly. Enjoyed less the noisy atmosphere making it hard to talk and found the lighting too cafeteria bright—would prefer a more moody atmosphere.

    First time dining after learning about restaurant from a friend. It is very good! Food is fresh, full of flavor, very tasty, and meat tender and juicy. The ice cream is a surprise and so subtly flavored and creamy. Definitely will return and try other dishes.

    It’s a nice place to enjoy some Persian food in the area. We had the Lamb Shank dish as well as Chello Morg and Maydoon Chicken bowl and everyone was happy with their dish. Not so crazy about their dessert choices. The team is very friendly. The prices are very reasonable for these day. Overall rating I would give a 4 star.

    Reservation was for 7:00 PM on a Friday night. Parking is a challenge. We parked four blocks away, arriving at 7:10. Street parking is metered until 10:00 PM. Very popular, the restaurant was almost full and very loud. After a table was cleared we were seated with food menus and waited awhile for service. Requested a bar menu, ordered drinks and all arrived in short order. Soon dinner arrived. We were pleased with the quality of the food. My marinated lamb was excellent and I decided to order a glass of wine. Unfortunately, because of understaffing, I had difficulty getting the attention of our waiter. Finally, I was able to order a glass of shiraz, which didn't arrive until I once again caught the attention of our waiter explaining that I wanted the wine with my now almost completed meal. He said the bartender was very busy. He then delivered the wine for me to enjoy with my last lamb chop. Decent wine. Would have worked well earlier. Busy place, good food with a friendly staff, but overworked. staff.

    Wonderful food. Lovely service. Unusual cocktails. Decor is moderate. It is a clean well lighted place but loud. The could use some acoustic inserts in the ceiling to reduce the ambient noise. Parking is not easy in this neighborhood. Worth the trip!
